A boy recovers from autism due to gluten-free, dairy-free diet


Autism is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts. 
Its treatment includes many diet-based therapies that address underlying issues inside the body. 
Autism rates are on the rise globally and many are starting to ask questions about how they can best cure or treat symptoms to increase quality of life generally. In one particular case, a young boy, Ethan Fox, began showing evident signs of Autism recovery when his diet was changed. His mom removed gluten and dairy in his diet. Ethan was diagnosed with Autism in 2006 when he was just one year old. He wouldn't sleep then more than 2 hours-day or night. He didn't sleep for 20 months in a row, so his mom decided to try to remove wheat and dairy from her son's diet. This made Ethan sleep through the night. His sleeping condition changed just within 3 days. 







According to an expert, sometimes, changing the diet improves the gut-brain connection. Many children with autism have a higher level of antibodies. Their antibodies react to the gluten found in wheat, fighting like it's a foreign object in the body that's why those children are sensitive to wheat. 

Further research between a gluten free diet having positive results for autistic children is furthered by a study focusing solely on dietary therapy for children with autism. According to a new case study published, it confirmed that the going gluten-free has huge possibility to change the condition of autism and a sudden attack of illness. 

People often hesitate whether this diet can improve the condition of their autistic children or not. However, the proof isn't in academic publications for those who have tried it. There's no other way to convince themselves, not even those clinical trials. People often only believe it when they see it with their own eyes.
